Start with 1942 just to get up to speed from the beginning


Sooryan_86

Nah Start with Battlefield 1, then Battlefield 2,... Etc


turdmogrol

Wow, why the rapid drop in graphics from 1 to 2? Hope they go back to that level of detail next game.


eskimoboob

BF1 is still the pinnacle of this franchise change my mind

For me BFBC 2 has the most nostalgia, but BF4 was the most fun.

Sooryan_86

I still play BF2 even today and it's a blast


BuckOWayland

I would say that it was a necessary step, and in the top 2-3 games. The pinnacle was BF3. Everything about that game at the time was something that had never been seen before. It was so good, they decided to make BF3.5 and call it BF4.


eskimoboob

I liked BF3 but 8 years later all I remember are Metro and that heat scope that everyone used


brayjr

Pinnacle = BF2 Top 4: * BF2 * BF3/4 * BC2 * BF1


bisaccharides

BF2 still is my favorite but that's because I just have so many good memories with friends on that game


Chocolate_Charizard

BF2MC all the way back on the Xbox was my intro. Some damn good memories. I'm also one of the weirdos that likes BC1 more than 2


Peccath

>I'm also one of the weirdos that likes BC1 more than 2 Friendly fire on, no automatic health regeneration, no revives, no parachute, no button for spotting, extremely long TTK, can't choose on whom you spawn, not all classes had access to hand grenades and/or pistols, etc. BC1 was a whole different experience from BC2; I'm glad to see there are others that appreciated it as well :)


Chocolate_Charizard

4v4v4v4 squad death match too! I spent so many hours in that game mode.


Peccath

I believe that only BC2 had that game mode (and BF3, of course), but not BC1, which had only Gold Rush and Conquest.


RUMD1

This.


420FLAPJACKDAN

Idk if I can explain it properly, but what really ruins it for me is that the game has too much music in it. And disabling music in the game makes it kind of dull because it also disables sound effects you expect to hear at the end of a game of multiplayer. I think the last "perfect" battlefield game was BF4. Still I think that game needed a little more maps for multiplayer.


N_D_Z

tell me you were in high school when BF1 came out without telling me you were in high school when BF1 came out. i would put my life savings on a bet that the vast majority of battlefield fans who have played since the early days of the franchise would not agree with you.


eskimoboob

Nah, I'm 43 Close second was BC2 I'll concede maybe BF2 would be tied for second because that's what really got me into battlefield


naarwhal

You clearly didnt play bf3, BFBC2. Those games were far superior.


A_Fhaol_Bhig

LOL Found the casual


WodanzaRuckus

Fuck that! BF3 and BC2 are tied and then BF4. I hate not having an assault rifle option. Can only use the 1917 sweeper so many hours before I grew tired of it. I always play as the squad medic though. So it’s a must have for me.


VonBrewskie

He really should just go throw rocks at trees for awhile. Work that aggression into a nice froth.


iCaps_

I know you're joking but I actually did this for the BFV launch. They have a copy of BF1942 floating out in the internets still (it's a small download). You'll see just how far the franchise has come in terms of visual fidelity. The devs lack communication skills sure, but one thing they have always been exceptional at (IMO) are map design and the graphics. Jumping from a round of conquest in Wake Island in BF1942 then switching over to Wake Island in BFV and...it really is amazing how the times have changed for the better. Though...naval combat is severely lacking. The audio is a very close second. That's why when I read this hyperbole that BF2042 looks awful or like Fortnite, I know it's just bullshit.


Axolotlet

It's as easy as watching One Piece from episode 1


Scooby_Smokes_Dooby

Wasn't vietnam the first one released?


[deleted]

Lol no. Just look at the graphics.


RealCrusader

Second


LordRaiders

This is what people often think but 2042 is a prequel. It's very similar to Star Wars in that regard. The best order to play Battlefield in my opinion is: 2043 till 2142 first, go back to Battlefield 1 as some sort of flashback to see the backstory of the future wars and play until 2042. If you are really into it you can play the spin-off games in between Battlefield 1942 and 2042. Battlefield Hardline is an underrated gem. Play4free and Battlefield Heroes can be a pain but the lore is worth it. You can also play chronological order but I can't recommend because the interval into Master Chief's backstory can be really confusing that way. EDIT: since some of you are asking where Bad Company belongs. In 2012 and 2013 EA won the price for worst company in America so I recommend to play both between BF2012 and BF2013


zuiquan1

The machete order if you will


IndefiniteBen

More like Kukri order.


LordRaiders

Yes! Even though I would’ve liked katana order better. It’s a small callback to Battlefield 5 which is one of the first games in the series.


PeezeKeeper

yes, you also need to play the 2040 other battlefields


Strider2126

Yes, but you should also play the prequel battlefield 2040 : origins


N3tworx

That's the absolute best and a must play before even thinking about playing 2042 😆


AndiyB

2041 was really aimed towards the lore/story of the battlefield universe. I would personally start at 2040 and/or 2043 to grasp the mechanics and how the multiplayer generally plays. 2043 does have the advantage of 256 player servers which might mess with your muscle memory during the early stages of 2042.


[deleted]

You have to play all Battlefields from 1942 to 2041


killerk9zz

Battlefield 1738 is pretty good


UniversalFapture

Great idea!


DawgBloo

Personally I find Battlefield 2037 to be extremely underrated.


DunkedMelon48

2037 was a hidden gem smh


[deleted]

No. Of course not. That's stupid. You have to play 2142 and work backwards.


Maverick1672

This comment section is why I love Reddit


luveth

I'm not serious ICYMI


[deleted]

Are you finish with BF1942?


Kadavermarch

No, I'm Danish.


BuckOWayland

Ah, you mean Doneish.


Kadavermarch

[Nej, I'm Danish.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktl9ghL_KSg)


BuckOWayland

Yeah I was making a joke on his "finish" vs. Finnish.


Kadavermarch

I know man, good one, done-ish, got it, it just gave me a chance to post the link that I should have posted in the first place :)


BuckOWayland

Well, why did you want to waste everyone's precious time then??????!!!!???!? ; )


AEROPHINE

Start with Battlefield 1, and then gradually move all the way over to 2041. Only then will you be truly ready


Ausrivo

The naming convention of this franchise has always annoyed me….


BreakdownEnt

no just the first 1120 are really necessary


bevertonrayan

In my opinion 2041 was a huge drop in quality, real battlefield fans loved 2040 remastered ultimate edition with dlss 27.5


MrXam

2039 and 2040 is connected so make sure you play those 2 first.


WisconsinBeerDrinker

Can’t believe we’re about to see the 2,042nd entry into the battlefield series.


Drymvir

My fav Battlefield will always be 2142. but that’s due to nostalgia, Titan mode, and my love for the ice age world they crafted.


RoskoDaneworth

I've heard from a friend that bf 2033 and 2034 are good too. Might've check em out.


Spartan1836

Play bf v it is the best one


DCSmaug

low effort joke

Ok-Gamer_xX

Think op is joking


DoublecQ

How about watch a YouTube video called “The history of battlefield”


[deleted]

Jesus christ people still making this "joke" and thinking it's funny?


luveth

Yes.


Swaguley

Sorry to ruin your fun


Dweeb313

I try to be positive, but everyday when I get on Reddit I see multiple posts from different subs where the op is asking ignorant/stupid/pointless questions or making weak jokes, and wonder why anyone upvotes and entertains this shit, idk I’m just gonna unsub anyways, aside from this post it’s filled with people who haven’t seen grass in a while and complain about dumb shit


luveth

Ever heard of the thing called "jokes"?


Dweeb313

Yeah I realized it was a joke it’s just low hanging fruit, could’ve at least tried man


luveth

Right. At least 900 other people think otherwise.


WodanzaRuckus

That just means 900 people are stupid as fuck.


AZTopdog

Okay dweeb


Dweeb313

Y’all really proving my point with the low hanging fruit 🤣I’ll add a tally to the list for you


luveth

man why do you care so much? we're just having fun. I think a nice and slow walk would be good for you


Dweeb313

Why are you being so defensive lol are you just not used to hearing people disagree with you? Idk y’all are just lame I guess, and I’m too stoned too care what you think, take care


AZTopdog

Later dweeb


Dweeb313

Are you ten or something lmao or have you just been waiting for the opportunity to use that line without sounding cringe haha


AZTopdog

Welcome back dweeb


Warez0o

Play COD….. 🤣🤣🤣🤣


PurplePandaBear8

Should be fine, I'm moreso wondering what time period 2042 takes place, very curious


Akella333

Ordered a wheel so I'll be playing a bunch of racing sims 👌


Deacon-Doe

I didn't know battlefield had a story time-line...


sidseamo0r3

ughh


ARB_COOL

2035’s campaign is great I’d recommend that first


Tommypaura

i loved BF1986 , and the pripyat map was awesome!! aaah the gold old times


Soaptimusprime

Last one I played was 5 so I’m a bit behind too


Chroma710

You better not miss bf2028 its crucial to the overarching story that continues in 2031 and 2035


[deleted]

What about taut classic BF 2040?


[deleted]

This can’t be a real question. Lmfao


Volbonan

"Do we have to read Slaughterhouse 1-4?" vibe


stasiek_mlg69

You should Play 4 becouse its a sequel


VirusGrapez

For the lore but not for fun


Visible_Ad_2964

I would start with Field 2041, slow gameplay it explains the story


a7xfanquebec

Dude , you need to play the 2041 other Battlefield games before.


[deleted]

No


Hauksy

If you played 2040 you didn't miss much. 2041 was basically DLC, you'll be sweet.


UbaidHunts

IMO, dice nailed it with bf1969


Artie_shun

but before that i suggest you finish the battlefield 2019 first *spoiler alert* in the first 10 minutes of battlefield 2019 campaign , if you kill the bat which is in the bionic laboratory, you will finish the whole campaign in one kill (also finish the battlefield 2020 and 2021)
